One man was apparently taken into custody around 8 p.m., soon after heavily-armored police officers searched 17 Mattson Ave., just off West Boylston Drive.

According to the police arrest log, Harold A. Johnson, 54, of 17 Mattson Ave., Apt. 2, was arrested and charged with throwing, secreting, launching, or placing an incendiary device, and larceny of a motor vehicle.

When police converged on the neighborhood, they also focused attention on a sedan parked in front of the multifamily house near the end of the street, which is between Interstate 190 and Indian Lake. A police dog sniffed and barked around the car.

Eventually personnel drove up in a state police truck. Soon after the man was taken into custody, a law enforcement officer smashed out the rear passenger side window of the sedan. He reached over and unlocked the driver's side door. Soon after coming around the other side, he shook hands with other police on the scene, and officers began to leave.

Police did not immediately release information on what prompted the response to Mattson Avenue, although after the search of the car, a police officer said all was safe and sound in the neighborhood.
